WESTBIC, Ireland

WESTBIC is the official EC BIC in the Border, Midland & Western region of Ireland providing tailored support to innovative enterprise through the initial stages, from concept to commercialisation.

Established in 1987, WESTBIC has an accumulated portfolio of over 500 innovative SMEs, exporting and creating high-value jobs as a response to the negative socio-economic indicators in the Region. These issues include negative demographic indices, a low industrial base, decline of traditional industries, low levels of investment, distance to markets and a “brain drain”.

WESTBIC has a mission: “to identify, incubate and support value-added enterprise opportunities.”
